I hope not considering Crysis 2 MP is about 500000x more fun than CoD MP could ever be. It's also 5000000x more buggy, hacker-infested and incomplete...but that is Crytek/EA's fault because they had no budget (or plans) to sustain multiplayer. How evil is that, releasing multiplayer and then forgetting you ever released it...only Crytek/EA could do such a thing.

Umm...well yes, really. Have you seen the state of the game? Most probably not.

> Hackers have ESTABLISHED A NAME for themselves on MyCrysis.com, the official forums for the game (run by Crytek) and are literally dancing naked in front of Crytek openly discussing ways to cheat and coding better cheats on forums. Crytek have turned a blind eye to their own website. Whatever few hackers they DO ban are back within days with illegally-obtained CD Keys. Apparently Crytek haven't heard of IP banning.

> It is entirely left up to independent admins & clans to monitor their servers and ban hackers. All servers who don't have active admins (i.e. the majority of them) are fully open to being hacked anytime by anyone with no consequences.

> Crytek demand that the PLAYERS spoonfeed them with evidence in order to ban hackers (upload video footage, etc). So no, just the time/name/server is not enough because Crytek have no tools available to them to verify replays or suspicious activity. Further evidence that there were no plans to sustain multiplayer.

> Finally, the ~100 bugs/glitches that plague multiplayer have been left ignored since the game was released.

This is the equivalent of ArenaNet releasing GW2 and then saying "right, everyone can do whatever they like now. Bugs? Too bad. Cheaters/exploits? We could care less. Goodbye"

So yes, that pretty much sums up "evil". If you're going to introduce multiplayer, you better have a plans to support + sustain it. Otherwise you're just a massive **** and should've never introduced multiplayer in the first place.

C2 Multiplayer had the potential of raking in tens of thousands of players with it's fast pace, steep learning curve and incredible fun. So what if it borrows from CoD, the model works and wearing a NANOSUIT completely changes everything, making the game unique enough in it's own right. Crytek threw all that amazing potential into a bin.Edited by Tippy - 4/23/12 at 8:05am

You apparently assume that hackers would use a "static ip", when indeed many people's IP changes hourly....

Hardware BAN is more powerful...

They need to start implementing Hardware Bans...

(e.g., if your computer has been used for haxing / cheating in games, then that computer will never be allowed to register/use the game)

If the punishment for cheating by using haxz was more severe for games, like criminal repercussions or something to that effect, then possibly less people would abuse the gaming industry...
